Only revelation brings progress; and that is what makes it so important
that finally revelation come into the body politic. That would be a real
step forward for the world, because until now it has not happened. God has
not yet truly entered into the history of the nations. There are only more
and more human histories—as, for example, the Boer War. Only after such an
incident can the Spirit of God give more light to individuals, Boers as
well as Englishmen, so that they can see further. Yet, through revelation,
enlightenment also must come into politics.
